The Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed overnight alongside a brand new Mario Kart game and whilst details are light on the new Mario Kart game, we did get a look at Donkey Kong who has a brand new look.
Just like in the movies, Donkey Kong’s facial structure has been changed to look more like the retro character art for the Mario characters from the original Mario Kart game. It’s a change-up that makes him look a lot cuddlier and cuter and no doubt will appeal to a younger audience.

It’s unclear if this will be his permanent look going forward, but as we hear more about the new Mario Kart game we’ll be sure to let you know, and you can watch the little Mario Kart snippet from the Nintendo Switch 2 trailer below.
